6/4

Broke her duck in this country with a gutsy display in 4-runner mares' handicap chase at Leicester (heavy) in February. Creditable third of 6 on Kempton reappearance 19 days ago, with the reopposing Ilovethenightlife ½ length ahead in second.

Forecasts

Regal Renaissance (5/4), It's Easy (6/4), Malaita (15/8), Ilovethenightlife (3/1), Lady Jago (12/1), Gilbertina (14/1), Loud And Proud (33/1)

The consistent REGAL RENAISSANCE can build on her reappearance second and go one better, perhaps at the expense of recent Kempton 2-3 Ilovethenightlife and It's Easy.
